special characters in XSL

I am using XSL to form the dynamic content of my page. When I add a character
code for a ú which is &#250;, the code is translated before it gets into
the page and the browser tries to read the ú. However, if I add the code
for &, it doesn't translate it into an ampersand. How can I keep from translating
the ú prematurely? Can anyone help me get around this issue?

Re: special characters in XSL

I am not too clear on what you are doing but you MUST define an entity for
this code before using it. If you are inserting it with XSL, then you must
define the entity in the stylesheet. Use a doctype def with just the entity
defined.
